The increased torsional stiffness of the head tube and the Bottom Bracket area and the crank frame interface becomes stronger TWT Triple Wall Tube TWT construction allows Bianchi to lay up the composite material plies to form 3 thin walls which are then molded together to form a bond less monocoque laminate tube Increased strength and stiffness to weight ratio Improved reactivity and ride control SAS Shock Assorbing Stays Special designed rear stays with S shape are laminated with carbon and glass fibers. This offers enhanced absorption of the vertical shocks on the rear drop outs without weakening the lateral and torsional stiffness of the frame.
